About two weeks ago, Obama's critics called him a coward

PJ: I've spent the day reading news from around the world about the success of finally dealing with Osama bin Laden. Praise is heaped on President Obama from the far corners of the globe. But it was just a couple of weeks ago that right-wing media in the US deemed the President a coward. It's a good reminder to pay attention to facts and deeds and sweep away hallow rhetoric that has little resemblance to reality.

Left and Right Accuse Obama of 'Cowardice'

When tea partyers braved the cold and wind on Saturday at a rally in Madison, Wis., to hear one of Sarah Palin’s most fiery speeches yet, they may not have noticed her part in a common theme developing of late among President Barack Obama’s critics — on the right and left alike.

When Obama blasted House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan’s plan to cut spending, reform entitlements, and solve long-term government debt, “he demonized the voices of responsibility with class warfare and with fear mongering,” the former Alaska governor and potential Republican presidential candidate said.

Mocking Obama’s new “Win the Future” catchphrase, she added: “Our president isn’t leading; he’s punting on this debt crisis. The only future that Barack Obama is trying to win is his own re-election. He’s willing to mortgage your children’s future to insure his own, and that is not ‘the audacity of hope.’ That’s cynicism. Piling more debt onto our children and our grandchildren? It’s not courage. No, that’s cowardice.”

Is it over the top — and liable to backfire — for opponents of the president to call the commander-in-chief a coward? In recent weeks, with Obama plagued by various foreign and domestic uproars and his popularity numbers continuing to drop, those unhappy with the president either don’t think so or don’t care.

Sarah Palin blasts President Obama for Libyan action; her nastiness has no bounds.

"Mr. President, your hesitation and vacillation in the Middle East breed uncertainty. It’s symptomatic of the puzzling way you govern.

PJ: Many Republicans commented on Bin Laden's death, praising the President. Mrs. Palin, however, omitted the President by name and by nature of the Commander in Chief in her remarks and praised the men and women in uniform instead.
